SCA: security update for typo3/cms-extensionmanager (GHSA-4g52-pq8j-6qv5)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 410161

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - TYPO3 is a free and open source Content Management Framework. A vulnerability has been identified in the
 backend user interface functionality involving deep links. Specifically, this functionality is susceptible
 to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF). Additionally, state-changing actions in downstream components
 incorrectly accepted submissions via HTTP GET and did not enforce the appropriate HTTP method. Successful
 exploitation of this vulnerability requires the victim to have an active session on the backend user
 interface and to be deceived into interacting with a malicious URL targeting the backend, which can occur
 under the following conditions: The user opens a malicious link, such as one sent via email. The user
 visits a compromised or manipulated website while the following settings are misconfigured: 1.
 `security.backend.enforceReferrer` feature is disabled, 2. `BE/cookieSameSite` configuration is set to lax
 or none. The vulnerability in the affected downstream component “Extension Manager Module” allows
 attackers to retrieve and install 3rd party extensions from the TYPO3 Extension Repository - which can
 lead to remote code execution in the worst case. Users are advised to update to TYPO3 versions 11.5.42
 ELTS, 12.4.25 LTS, 13.4.3 LTS which fix the problem described. (CVE-2024-55921)
